Interim Management Statement – 1Q 2014 (continued)

Highlights

  Reported profit before tax (‘PBT’) down 20% in the first quarter of 2014 (‘1Q14’) at US$6,785m comparedwith US$8,434m in the same period in 2013 (‘1Q13’). 

  Underlying PBT was down US$968m or 13% in 1Q14 at US$6,621m, compared with US$7,589m in 1Q13,primarily reflecting the reduced impact of significant items (US$741m net reduction in PBT between 1Q13 and1Q14, comprising lower revenue items of US$1,076m and lower operating expense items of US$335m).

  Earnings per share and dividends per ordinary share for the first quarter of 2014 were US$0.27 and US$0.10,respectively, compared with US$0.34 and US$0.10 for the equivalent period in 2013.

  Return on average ordinary shareholders’ equity (annualised) was 3.2% lower at 11.7%, compared with 14.9%for the equivalent period in 2013.

  Lower 1Q14 revenue –  1Q14 underlying revenue was US$15,709m, down 8% from US$17,135m in the same periodin 2013 mainly reflecting the reduced impact from significant items of US$1,076m. Excluding these items, revenuewas lower by US$350m or 2%, driven by Retail Banking and Wealth Management and Global Banking and Markets,partly offset by growth in Commercial Banking.

  Further progress made on executing against strategy with market share gains in several product categories inGlobal Banking and Markets including equity and debt capital markets, advisory and lending. We also achievedpositive net new money in targeted areas of growth in Global Private Banking.

  Lower 1Q14 underlying operating expenses  –  1Q14 operating expenses were US$8,843m, down 2% fromUS$9,014m in the same period in 2013. Excluding significant items, operating expenses increased by 2% in partreflecting increased investment in Global Standards, Risk and Compliance, and inflation, partly offset by cost savinginitiatives.

  Capital –  at 1Q14, the CRD IV transitional basis CET1 capital ratio was 10.7%, down from 10.8% at 31 December2013, and the end point CET1 capital ratio was 10.8%, down from 10.9%. This largely reflected increased RWAsresulting from regulatory change.

1  Net operating income before loan impairment charges, also referred to as ‘revenue’.2  The gain of US$553m represents the net impact of the disposal of available-for-sale investments in Ping An offset by adverse changes in

 fair value of the contingent forward sale contract to the point of delivery of the shares.

3  In 1Q13, the private banking operations of HSBC Private Bank Holdings (Suisse) SA in Monaco were classified as held for sale. At thistime a loss on reclassification to held for sale was recognised following a write down in the value of goodwill allocated to the operation.

 Following a strategic review we decided to retain the operation and the assets and liabilities of the business were reclassified to the

relevant balance sheet categories; however, the loss on classification was not reversed.

Interim Management Statement – 1Q 2014 (continued)

Group Chief Executive, Stuart Gulliver, commented:

"In the first quarter we maintained control of costs and further demonstrated our capital resilience. Whilst revenue

was lower than the previous year's first quarter, which benefited from a number of specific items, we have seenprogress in revenue over the trailing quarters. Loan impairment charges fell, reflecting the changes to the portfolio

since 2011. Our return on equity was 11.7%.

"Global Banking and Markets had a relatively good performance and we grew our market share in several product

categories. Commercial Banking saw revenue growth but, in our Principal Retail Banking and Wealth

Management business, revenues were impacted by changes in incentive plans and product pricing."

Interim Management Statement – 1Q 2014 (continued)

Geographical regions

Hong Kong and Rest of Asia-Pacific are no longer

regarded as separate reportable operating segments,

having considered the geographical financialinformation presented to the GMB. From 1 January

2014, they have been replaced by a new operating

segment ‘Asia’, which better aligns with internal

management information used for evaluation when

making business decisions and resource allocations.

Comparative data have been re-presented to reflect

this change.

Implementation of CRD IV

On 1 January 2014, CRD IV came into force and

capital and RWAs at 31 March 2014 are calculated

and presented on this basis. Prior to this date, capital

and RWAs were calculated and presented on a Basel

2.5 basis. In addition, capital and RWAs at

31 December 2013 were also estimated based on the

Group’s interpretation of final CRD IV legislation

and final rules issued by the PRA, details of which

can be found in the basis of preparation on page 324

of the Annual Report and Accounts 2013. 

Underlying performance

Underlying performance:

 adjusts for the period-on-period effects offoreign currency translation;

  eliminates the fair value movements on our

long-term debt attributable to own credit spread

where the net result of such movements will be

zero upon maturity of the debt. This does not

include fair value changes due to own credit risk

in respect of trading liabilities or derivative

liabilities; and

  adjusts for acquisitions, disposals and changes

of ownership levels of subsidiaries, associates,

 joint ventures and businesses.

For acquisitions, disposals and changes of

ownership levels of subsidiaries, associates, joint

ventures and businesses, we eliminate the gain or

loss on disposal or dilution and any associated gain

or loss on reclassification or impairment recognised

in the period incurred, and remove the operating

 profit or loss of the acquired, disposed of or diluted

subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and

 businesses from all the periods presented so we can

view results on a like-for-like basis. Disposal of

investments other than those included in the above

definition do not lead to underlying adjustments.

1  ‘Currency translation adjustment’ is the effect of translating the results of subsidiaries and associates for the previous period at the

average rates of exchange applicable in the current period.

Financial performance commentary

1Q14 compared with 1Q13

  Reported profit before tax of US$6.8bn in

1Q14 was US$1.6bn or 20% lower than in

1Q13, primarily reflecting lower gains (net of

losses) from disposals and reclassifications.

 Notably, our results in 1Q13 included a

US$1.1bn accounting gain arising from the

reclassification of Industrial Bank as a financial

investment following its issue of additional

share capital to third parties. This was partly

offset in 1Q14 by favourable fair value

movements of US$0.1bn on our own debt

designated at fair value resulting from changes

in credit spreads compared with adverse

movements of US$0.2bn in 1Q13. 

  On an underlying basis, profit before tax was

US$1.0bn or 13% lower than in 1Q13. This was

 primarily driven by lower revenue, partly offset

 by lower LICs and operating expenses. 

  Reported revenue was US$15.9bn in 1Q14,

US$2.5bn lower than in 1Q13, in part reflecting

lower gains (net of losses) from disposals and

reclassifications. On an underlying basis,

revenue of US$15.7bn was US$1.4bn or 8%

lower driven by a number of significant items

which were recorded in 1Q13, as follows:  a net gain on completion of the Ping An

disposal of US$553m; and

  foreign exchange gains on sterling debt

issued by HSBC Holdings of US$442m.

This was partly offset by:

  a loss of US$279m recognised following

the write-off of allocated goodwill relating

to our GPB business in Monaco;

  a loss of US$199m on early termination of

cash flow hedges in the US run-off portfolio

in RBWM; and

  a loss on the sale of an HFC Bank UK

secured loan portfolio of US$138m.

In addition, 1Q14 revenue included:

  a favourable DVA of US$31m (compared

with US$472m in 1Q13) in GB&M onderivative contracts;

  adverse fair value movements on non-

qualifying hedges of US$142m compared

with favourable movements of US$84m in

1Q13; and

  a loss of US$30m on sales of several

tranches of real estate secured accounts in

the US run-off portfolio in RBWM.

Excluding these items, revenue was US$0.4bn

lower:

  in RBWM, revenue was US$0.3bn lower

reflecting reduced net interest income

following the sale of the non-real estate

Interim Management Statement – 1Q 2014 (continued)

 portfolio in 2013 and lower average

 balances in the US run-off portfolio. In

our Principal RBWM business, revenue

decreased by US$0.1bn, mainly reflectingthe run-off of our Canadian consumer

finance business, lower mortgage fees in the

US and lower overdrafts and investment

fees in Europe. These factors were partly

offset by higher revenue from savings and

deposits, mainly in Europe and Asia;

  in GB&M, total revenue was US$0.2bn or

4% lower, although this included higher

revenue in Legacy Credit of US$0.1bn as

we actively managed the portfolio. The

reduction in revenue was driven by a

decrease of US$0.2bn in Balance SheetManagement, as 1Q13 included higher

gains from the re-positioning of the

 portfolio for risk management purposes.

Although market conditions were

challenging, GB&M increased market share

in several product categories including

equity and debt capital markets, advisory

and lending. However, overall revenue in

Capital Financing decreased as volume

growth across the business was more than

offset by spread and fee compression.

Revenue in Rates, Foreign Exchange and

Credit also fell as these businesses were

affected by subdued activity levels. By

contrast, revenue grew in our Equities

 business as client flows increased; and

  in GPB, revenue was US$0.1bn lower,

reflecting a managed reduction in client

assets as we continued to reposition the

 business, which led to a reduction in fee and

trading income. We attracted positive net

new money in areas that we have targeted

for growth, including our home and priority

markets and the high net worth client

segment.

These factors were partly offset by:

  CMB, where revenue rose by US$0.2bn.

This was primarily due to higher net interest

income, mainly in Asia from average

 balance sheet growth and in the UK from a

rise in deposit balances and wider lending

spreads. In addition, revenue grew from

increased collaboration with GB&M,

notably in Asia, and from higher term

lending fees in the UK.

  LICs of US$0.8bn were US$0.4bn lower than in

1Q13 on a reported basis, and US$0.3bn lower

on an underlying basis, primarily from

reductions in North America and Europe.

  In North America, the decrease of

US$0.3bn reflected reduced balancesand lower levels of new impaired loans

in the US run-off portfolio, together with

improvements in US housing market

conditions, although the rate of

improvement was lower than in 2013.

  In Europe, the decrease of US$0.1bn was

mainly driven by lower specific impairments

in CMB in the UK.

  Reported operating expenses in 1Q14 of

US$8.9bn were 5% lower than in 1Q13. On

an underlying basis, operating expenses fell byUS$0.2bn, reflecting the effect of significant

items:

  the non-recurrence of regulatory

investigation provisions in GPB recorded

in 1Q13 of US$119m;

  a customer remediation provision connected

to our former CRS business recorded in

1Q13 of US$100m;

  lower UK customer redress programme

charges of US$83m compared with

US$164m in 1Q13. Charges for the periodincluded estimated redress for possible

mis-selling in previous years in respect of

PPI; and

  lower restructuring and other related costs

of US$35m.

Excluding these items, operating expenses were

2% higher than in 1Q13 reflecting increased

investment in Global Standards, Risk and

Compliance and wage inflation, partly offset

 by cost saving initiatives.

  Our  cost efficiency ratio increased by 4.9 percentage points on a reported basis to 55.7%and by 3.7 percentage points to 56.3% on anunderlying basis reflecting lower revenue.

  The number of FTEs at the end of the quarter

was 255,200, an increase of 1,100 on

31 December 2013, reflecting continued

investment in Global Standards, Compliance

and business growth initiatives, primarily in

RBWM and CMB, partly offset by sustainable

savings initiatives and the disposal of our

operations in Colombia.

Interim Management Statement – 1Q 2014 (continued)

income from government bonds held in a

number of Group entities and the recognition

of the Group’s share of post-tax profits of

associates and joint ventures within the Group’s pre-tax income. The lower effective tax rate

in 1Q13 of 15.7% was driven by the benefits

arising from the non-taxable gain on profits

associated with the reclassification of Industrial

Bank as a financial investment and the Ping An

sale.

  On 7 May 2014, the Board announced a first

interim dividend for 2014 of US$0.10 per

ordinary share.

1Q14 compared with 4Q13

  Reported profit before tax was US$2.8bn or

71% higher than in 4Q13, despite lower gains

(net of losses) from disposals of US$18m

compared with US$1.0bn in 4Q13 which

 primarily arose from the sale of our Panama

operations. 1Q14 included favourable fair value

movements of US$0.1bn on own credit spread

compared with adverse movements of US$0.7bn

in 4Q13.

  On an underlying basis, profit before tax

was US$3.1bn or 89% higher than in 4Q13,

reflecting higher revenue and lower LICs and

operating expenses. 

  Reported revenue of US$15.9bn in 1Q14

was 5% higher than in 4Q13. On an underlying

 basis, revenue was US$1.1bn or 7% higher,

driven by GB&M. This was notably in Rates,

Foreign Exchange and Credit following

 particularly muted customer activity in 4Q13

compared with 1Q14.

  LICs were US$0.3bn lower than in 4Q13

on both a reported and underlying basis. LICs

fell in the majority of our regions, notably by

US$0.2bn in Latin America reflecting lowerspecific impairments in CMB in Mexico relating

to homebuilders due to a change in public

housing policy in 2013, and in Brazil across

a number of corporate exposures. In North

America, LICs fell by US$0.1bn, mainly driven

 by lower collective charges in the US, in part

reflecting the CML portfolio run-off.

  Operating expenses for 1Q14 were US$1.7bn

lower than in 4Q13 on a reported basis and

US$1.6bn lower on an underlying basis. This

 primarily reflected a number of significant items

including the bank levy of US$0.9bn recordedin 4Q13, lower UK customer redress charges of

US$0.3bn and a decrease in restructuring and

related costs. The remaining operating expenses

were US$0.3bn lower, primarily reflecting

incremental cost saving initiatives.

Balance sheet commentary

  Reported loans and advances to customers 

increased by US$17.7bn in the quarter.

Excluding FX movements of US$2.2bn,

the growth was driven by GB&M and CMB

customers in Asia, relating to term lending. In

addition, there was growth in Europe in GB&M

from Capital Financing and corporate overdraft

 balances that did not meet the criteria for

netting, partly offset by a reduction in credit

card balances in RBWM and a fall in CMB

lending.

  Reported customer accounts balances were

 broadly unchanged during 1Q14, with growth in

Europe offset by a decrease in North America.

The increase in Europe was driven by growth in

 balances in GB&M that did not meet the criteria

for netting and an increase in RBWM. In North

America, the fall in balances primarily reflected

re-pricing.

  Other significant balance sheet movements in

the quarter included a rise in trading assets and

liabilities, mainly in Europe and North America.

This reflected an increase in customer activity

and a resultant increase in settlement account

 balances.

Capital and risk-weighted assets

On 1 January 2014, CRD IV came into effect,

implementing the Basel III framework within the

European Union.

At 1Q14, the CRD IV transitional basis CET1

capital ratio reduced to 10.7%, from 10.8% at

31 December 2013. Similarly the end-point CET1

capital ratio reduced to 10.8% from 10.9%. Thislargely reflected increased RWAs resulting from

regulatory change.

Internal capital generation contributed US$4.5bn

to CRD IV end point CET 1 capital, being profits

attributable to shareholders of the parent company

after regulatory adjustment for own credit spread and

net of the first interim dividend. The dividend is net

of planned scrip, and we have benefited from a

higher fourth interim dividend scrip take-up.

On 1 January 2014, the move from the historical

regulatory regime to a CRD IV transitional basisincreased RWAs by US$122.2bn. This movement

mainly consisted of credit valuation adjustment,

asset value correlation, amounts in aggregate below

the capital threshold risk-weighted at 250% and

selected securitisation positions which moved from

capital deductions to RWAs.

Selected portfolios with low default historywere subject to PRA LGD floors, with an impact

of US$17.3bn in RWAs; this is reported under

methodology and policy changes. In addition,

the PRA required a floor to be applied to the UK

corporate LGD model, resulting in an increase in

RWAs of US$17.1bn, as reported under model

updates.

Business growth in CMB and GB&M in Asia

and Europe from higher term lending to corporate

customers increased RWAs by US$7.3bn, while

additional increases occurred for corporate and

sovereign exposures in Asia resulting from adverse

movements in customer credit standing with an

RWA impact of US$2.3bn.

Internal ratings-based (‘IRB’) RWA reductions

of US$10.1bn from internal updates related to

immaterial portfolios moving to the Standardised

approach, with a reduction in IRB RWAs of

US$4.8bn and methodology changes associated

with trade finance products which accounted for

a reduction in RWAs of US$4.6bn. Immaterial

 portfolios moving to the Standardised approach

increased Standardised RWAs by US$6.0bn.

US retail run-off portfolio RWAs reduced by

US$8.2bn as a result of a combination of factors,

including the implementation of new risk models

for the mortgage portfolios and favourable shifts

in portfolio quality, as lower quality exposures

continue to run off.

Net interest margin

 Net interest margin was lower than in 1Q13 as a

result of lower yields on customer lending, primarily

in North America and Latin America. In North

America this was driven by the effect of thedisposals of the CML non-real estate loan portfolio

and select tranches of CML first lien mortgages

in the US in 2013. Both North America and Latin

America were also affected by a change in the

composition of their lending portfolios as they

focused on growing secured, lower yielding

 balances, for both corporate and Premier customers.

Yields on customer lending also fell in Europe and

Asia, although to a lesser extent. However, yields onour surplus liquidity increased, notably in Asia, in

line with market rate rises in mainland China and

active management of our portfolios.

Cost of funds on customer accounts fell, albeit

to a lesser extent than yields on customer lending,

across most regions. In addition, the cost of debt

issued by the Group decreased, primarily in Europe

and in North America, as higher cost funding

matured. The effects of these reductions were

 partially offset by an increase in the cost of funds

in Latin America from rising interest rates in Brazil

and from the continued change in the funding base,substituting wholesale deposits for medium-term

notes.

In addition, the net interest margin reduced due

to the significant increase in reverse repurchase

agreements and repurchase agreements arising from

the change in 4Q13 in the way that GB&M manage

these activities. This had the effect of increasing

average interest-earning assets, without a

correspondingly large increase in net interest

income, as these agreements are typically lower-

yielding and have a lower cost of funds than the rest

of the portfolio.

The decline in net interest margin from 4Q13

was lower than the reduction experienced from

1Q13 and was driven by North America and Latin

America. It similarly reflected the change in the

composition of lending portfolios, both as a result

of disposals of selected tranches of CML first lien

mortgages in the US during 4Q13 and the continued

shift towards secured, lower-yielding balances in

 both regions, as noted above. Additionally, Latin

America was affected by a significant rise in its

cost of funds, as interest rates rose in Brazil.

Trading conditions since 31 March 2014 and outlook

We continued to experience muted customer activity

in April.

Notes

  Income statement comparisons, unless stated otherwise, are between the quarter ended 31 March 2014 and the quarter ended31 March 2013. Balance sheet comparisons, unless otherwise stated, are between balances at 31 March 2014 and the corresponding balances at 31 December 2013.

  The financial information on which this Interim Management Statement  is based, and the data set out in the appendix to thisstatement, are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with HSBC’s significant accounting policies as described in the Annual Report and Accounts 2013, with the exception of the adoption of the following new or revised standards: On 1 January 2014HSBC adopted amendments to IAS 32 ‘Offsetting Financial assets and Financial Liabilities’ which clarified the requirements foroffsetting financial instruments and addressed inconsistencies in current market practice when applying the offsetting criteria inIAS 32 ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’. The amendments have been applied retrospectively and have not had a material effecton HSBC’s financial statements.

  The Board has adopted a policy of paying quarterly interim dividends on the ordinary shares. Under this policy, it is intended to havea pattern of three equal interim dividends with a variable fourth interim dividend. Dividends are declared in US dollars and, at theelection of the shareholder, paid in cash in one of, or in a combination of, US dollars, sterling and Hong Kong dollars or, subject tothe Board’s determination that a scrip dividend is to be offered in respect of that dividend, may be satisfied in whole or in part by theissue of new shares in lieu of a cash dividend.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-lookingstatements

The Interim Management Statement  contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to HSBC’s financial condition,results of operations, capital position and business.

Statements that are not historical facts, includingstatements about HSBC’s beliefs and expectations, areforward-looking statements. Words such as ‘expects’,‘anticipates’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’, ‘seeks’, ‘estimates’,

‘potential’ and ‘reasonably possible’, variations of these wordsand similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore undue relianceshould not be placed on them. Forward-looking statementsspeak only as of the date they are made. HSBC makes nocommitment to revise or update any forward-lookingstatements to reflect events or ci rcumstances occurring orexisting after the date of any forward-looking statements.

Written and/or oral forward-looking statements mayalso be made in the periodic reports to the US Securitiesand Exchange Commission, summary financial statementsto shareholders, proxy statements, offering circulars and prospectuses, press releases and other written materials, andin oral statements made by HSBC’s Directors, officers or

employees to third parties, including financial analysts.Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and

uncertainties. Readers are cautioned that a number of factorscould cause actual results to differ, in some instancesmaterially, from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statement. These include, but are not limited to:

  changes in general economic conditions in the markets inwhich we operate, such as continuing or deepeningrecessions and fluctuations in employment beyond thosefactored into consensus forecasts; changes in foreignexchange rates and interest rates; volatility in equitymarkets; lack of liquidity in wholesale funding markets;illiquidity and downward price pressure in national realestate markets; adverse changes in central banks’ policieswith respect to the provision of liquidity support to

financial markets; heightened market concerns oversovereign creditworthiness in over-indebted countries;adverse changes in the funding status of public or private

defined benefit pensions; and consumer perception as tothe continuing availability of credit and price competitionin the market segments we serve;

  changes in government policy and regulation, includingthe monetary, interest rate and other policies of central banks and other regulatory authorities; initiatives tochange the size, scope of activities and interconnectednessof financial institutions in connection with theimplementation of stricter regulation of financialinstitutions in key markets worldwide; revised capital andliquidity benchmarks which could serve to deleverage bank balance sheets and lower returns available from thecurrent business model and portfolio mix; impositionof levies or taxes designed to change business mix andrisk appetite; the practices, pricing or responsibilities offinancial institutions serving their consumer markets;expropriation, nationalisation, confiscation of assets andchanges in legislation relating to foreign ownership;changes in bankruptcy legislation in the principal marketsin which we operate and the consequences thereof;general changes in government policy that maysignificantly influence investor decisions; extraordinarygovernment actions as a result of current market turmoil;other unfavourable political or diplomatic developments producing social instability or legal uncertainty which inturn may affect demand for our products and services;

the costs, effects and outcomes of product regulatoryreviews, actions or litigation, including any additionalcompliance requirements; and the effects of competitionin the markets where we operate including increasedcompetition from non-bank financial services companies,including securities firms; and

  factors specific to HSBC, including discretionary risk-weighted asset growth and our success in adequatelyidentifying the risks we face, such as the incidence ofloan losses or delinquency, and managing those risks(through account management, hedging and othertechniques). Effective risk management depends on,among other things, our ability through stress testing andother techniques to prepare for events that cannot becaptured by the statistical models it uses; and our success

in addressing operational, legal and regulatory, andlitigation challenges, notably compliance with theDeferred Prosecution Agreements with US authorities.
